Publisher's summary

From YouTube star vlogger Connor Franta comes an audiobook that grows out of his massive social media outreach - filled with annotated postcards, notes, texts, tweets, journal entries, emails, and letters that chart his coming of age.

The front of the postcards feature his photos, both of himself and the things that inspire him, with the back answering questions from fans or relating anecdotes about the things that drive and influence him. Listened to from start to finish, the book tells a coherent narrative about Connor's coming of age and becoming an adult and the ups and downs that are a part of that. From bullying to dating to leaving home, this is an inspirational book for fans who are growing up and establishing their individuality. The various modes of communication in the book also reflect changes in Connor's own use of technology over the last several years.

A cross between an essay collection and a coming-of-age memoir, told in brief, the book is divided into sections, each beginning with a short introduction about what's affected Connor growing up. For example, a section on family begins with a short piece on Connor's family and what he's learned from them, so that his fans can get a greater insight into his life and learn something from it.

This book was amazing. In complete honesty I wasn't expecting him to be able to write such a good book, but I was pleasantly surprised, because I leave today after finishing this book feeling completely inspired to not wait and make my dreams come true even as cleshay as that sounds.

Connor is my favorite human being

I've always enjoyed Connor's youtube videos, so it wasn't a hard decision for me to get his audiobook. Listening to him read his story was an amazing experience for me, the way he reads it is as though he's talking to friends. So proud of him as one of the many interested in his work. Hope he goes even fsrther in life doing what he loves <3
